I was thinking of donating 10% vs. some part time work / side projects.
I agree that someone with the altruism willing to donate say 50% of their income but who isn’t able to get a top direct work job could donate more like $10k - $100k per year (depending on their earning potential, which might be high if they’re willing to do something like real estate, sales or management in a non-glamorous business).
Though I still feel like there’s a good chance there’s someone that dedicated and able could find something that produces more impact than that, given the funding situation.
I think I might prefer to have another EA civil servant than $50k per year, even if not in an especially influential position. Or I might prefer them to optimise for having a good network and then talking about EA ideas.

Thank you for providing more colour on your view, that’s useful!
